OPERATION (CONTINUED)
S HELVING I NSTALLATION BACTRON300 AND BACTRON900
Install the three (3) metal bottom spacers included with the BACTRON600 and 900 on the
bottom shelf of the workspace chamber incubator. These spacers shield sample containers
from direct contact with the warm surface of the incubator, and ensure heat dissipation and
uniformity.
1. Set the spacers on the bottom shelf of the workspace chamber incubator, side by
side, with the “SPACER” label facing outwards toward you.
2. Make sure to leave the incubator doors only partly open (1cm / 0.5 inches) after
installing the shelf spacers while setting up the BACTRON for use.
3. An empty plate or dish placed at the bottom of each sample stack can provide additional
shielding for anaerobes that are heat sensitive, or if the incubator is being run at high
temperatures.

OWER THE
BACTRON
1. Plug the workstation power cord into a suitable outlet (page 12).
2. Turn the power switch ON to verify that the workstation will power up.
3. The vacuum pump should turn on for a few seconds, and then turn off. If the pump does
not run, consult Sheldon Technical Support. If the vacuum pump runs for a long period of
time at higher altitudes it will require adjustment.
4. The following lights and displays should illuminate.
a. The Green power switch.
b. The Chamber Gassing pilot light will illuminate for a few seconds, if all doors
are closed and the gas supply is turned on.
c. The Pass Box Doors sealed pilot light if the doors are closed.
d. The Auto Cycle Aerobic pilot light.
e. The green LED Set Temperature display on the main control panel.
f. The green LED Set Temperature Display on the workspace control panel of the
BACTRON900 (BACTRONIV-900).
